83rd Infantry Division Documents

After WWII, George was the 1st Sergeant in charge of the Ceremonial Detail that performed for visiting White House  dignitaries and at the burials of high-level officers from the Armed Services held at Arlington Ceremony.

George was a great help when we held our 2007 Reunion in Arlington, VA. When the General Kroesen, who was to be our guest speaker, cancelled at the last minute, George found General Schoomaker to replace him. George also provided a "Silent Drill Team" to fill in a gap in our program. At the end of the program, held at the hotel, about 25 soldiers in a circle were holding their bayonets about 1/2 an inch from the Drill sergeant's throat! We couldn't have made it without George.
